u Evacuation tone
The Gentex GEC24‑15/75WR Low‑frequency
Horn Strobe (red) offers dependable audible and
visual alarms, a low current draw, and a minimum flash
rate of 1 Hz regardless of input voltage.
Functions
Easy Installation and Testing
The user can wire then install the entire system,
reducing installation and operating costs. Use the
SuperSlide feature to test supervision.
Horn Output
The horns provide a selection of high or low dBA. They
produce a peak sound of 100 dBA or greater at 10 ft
(3 m). They offer a choice between a 2400 Hz (remote
signaling) tone or a low frequency mechanical
sounding (evacuation) tone where closed doors could
prevent hearing the other tone. The user can also
select either continuous or temporal Code 3 tone
output, and synchronize the temporal signals by using
an AVS Series Synchronization Module.
u Use the SuperSlide feature for easy testing
u Wide voltage range; 16 to 33 VDC or FWR
u Select high or low frequency, high or low volume,
and temporal Code 3 or continuous tone pattern
Strobe Output
The signaling appliance with the AVS‑44, AVSM, or a
compatible control panel, can silence the audible
signal while leaving the visible signal energized with
the use of a single pair of power wires.

Compatible Products
The following products are compatible with the horn
strobe:
2 | GEC24‑15/75WR 15/75 cd Horn Strobe (red)
Control Panels:
Compatible with the FPA-1000 Family, FPD-7024 Family, D7024
family, D10024A1, D91241, D80241, D70242, and D70223 FACPs
Synchronization Modules:
AVS-44 and AVSM-R
1
For synchronization, use the AVS‑44 or AVSM Synchronization
Modules with these control panels.
2
When used with a D7039 Multiplex Expansion Module, the D7024
becomes an addressable FACP.
3
The D7022 must be set for 24 VDC operation and requires the AVS‑44
or AVSM Synchronization Modules for synchronization.
Mounting Considerations
The horn strobes are easy to install with the GSB
Surface Back Box.
Indoor Applications
Notice
Use the horn/strobe for indoor installations only.
These horn strobes are equipped with a four-inch
square metal mounting plate that can be attached as
follows:

1 Literature pack
Technical specifications
Electrical
Input voltage 24 VDC or VFWR nominal
Voltage range 16 to 33 VDC or FWR
Strobe Current (maximum) 96 mA RMS; 135 mA FWR
Environmental
Relative Humidity Up to 93% non‑condensing
Temperature (Operating) +32°F to +120°F (0°C to +49°C)
Alarm Ratings
Notice
The sound output for the temporal (Code 3) tone
is rated lower because the time the horn is off is
averaged into the sound output rating. When the
horn is producing a tone in the Temporal mode its
sound pressure is the same as the Continuous
mode.

Shipping Information
The horn strobes are delivered from the factory set to
the temporal lower frequency mode. Also included is a
locking mechanism that secures the product to the
bracket without any screws showing.
Wiring
Notice
Do not use these units in coded or pulsed
signaling circuits.
The input terminals accept wires with diameters
between 18 AWG and 12 AWG (ISO 0.75 mm2 and
4 mm2).
